while we are talking priorities here,, ask yourself a simple question.. we are going to spend millions on a ball park when the main street into downtown "C" street, is in the condition it is in, the street that greets our citizens and visitors in that bad a shape?? think about it..

Jim - keep at it. One of the unfortuate things is that there are a lot of people that care what happens, but don't live in the city limits. This is what happens when you have a mayor and city council with their own agendas, a city manager with no experience and a finance director with no experience and only a high school education. There is absolutely no professionalism in this group...and it keeps getting worse.

Its Me is obviously a pawn for those that are bringing Mexico style governance to Floresville. You are all familiar with that type of governance....rules be damned, corruption, good ole boy club.
If you had an inkling of care or concern for the City of Floresville "Its Me"; you'd be thankful for citizens like Mr Miller who actually attempt to keep city government accountable (although it may be a useless excercise).
Certainly, no municipality that layed out $7m to build that event center, can't keep their accounting straight, and has a leadership team in place that seems just about void of professionalism; has any business at all talking about developing a sports complex.
Citizens of Floresville need to get on the ball before they figure out they've all been robbed blind ...figuratively OR literally. Cuz something awfully wrong is going on at city hall.

A couple of observations from last night's "workshop".
Daniel Tejada "This is a council workshop, we are not here to answer questions of the public".
Councilwoman Castillio "What is in this for the City?"
Councilman Gomez "It's the intangibles were looking for"
Not one single council member asked a question about how much is it going to cost; or where is the money coming from.
Not one single council member has asked a question about how are we going to pay for the needed sewer plant improvements, water improvements, or street improvements.
If I recall correctly, last year the Mayor stated that we needed a tax increase to pay for these needed improvements. But, now with the King Danny Sports Complex on the horizon these are no longer issues.

Jim I agree with your comments, however until the people of Floresville, get off thier tails and show up in force, the mayor and his gang of relatives council members are going to push thru anything they want. Im not sure why more people dont get involved? Is it because they dont really know or care what goes on, or is it because they are related to these folks as well. Do these people understand the debt the mayor and the city has because of the community center and now they want to spend more??? This I really dont understand. I wish well in your bid to rid this town of the good ole boy network. This town needs new blood, ut unfortuneately not enough people in this town care the way you do. I wish you luck in ridding Floresville, of the crooks running it, from the mayor to the city manager. I mean come on, you lose your job as a peace officer and get a promotion to become the city manager, tell me that doesnt smell fishy. The city manager is responsible for the finances in Floresville, and he hasnt shown that he has the education or the know how to run the city. Once again the good ole boy network brings him in to run the city. If this guy were doing a good job, I wouldnt care what he did in the past, but he doesnt know how to run a city.

I just get tired of crazy people that will never shut up especially after they make a statement on these blogs saying that there done and will not bother to comment anymore. As far the the city politics I also agree that there all a bunch of crooks!

It's Me - you sound a little threaten. Do pesky facts make you nervous? ... The facts are just now coming out - much more to be uncovered. Get use to the heat. Unless - of course - someone would like to step up with the truth.

Jim if I recall you stated several months ago that you were not going to comment on the blogs anymore..... What the h*## happened? You won't shut up and keep rambling on and on..... Have you lost your mind because you are beginning to sound crazy..... Enough is enough. Shut up already.

New Guy:
Well the County Attorney is Investigating and at least one complaint has been filed the District Attorney.
Legally speaking any wrong doing must be investigated by the Texas Rangers at the request of the District Attorney. Ball is in his court. To the best of my knowledge the Texas Rangers have not yet been requested by the DA.
As to the voters - we have recall. Come November 14th the Mayor and every city council member will be subject to a recall petition and if 500 signatures are obtained, a special election.

what is the current status of the supposed investigation currently underway into local city operations, also is there no way to have an election in May to elect a new mayor or will he be allowed to serve until November,, Also can't the local populace create a referendum vote on the bonds being issued for the complex, stop the funding and it doesn't happen...Finally, has anyone looked at the event scheduled in December at the convention center that supposedly funds some local charities... who is watching that money.....?

The City, or should I say, the Mayor wants a Sports Complex! More importantly they plan to do it without voter approval. Come January 2012 King Danny will issue approximately 2.4 million dollars in Revenue Bonds. More Debt .... Great!!!
Here are the truths from the City's and the 4A's audits:
The General Fund of the City of Floresville in the past three fiscal years has operated at a net loss of $ 1,006,532.00
The Net Assets of the City of Floresville in the past three fiscal years have decreased by $ 662,466.00
The Total Long Term Debt of the Event Center is $7,014,680.00
Now they want to build a Sports Complex!! Do they know the definition of malfeasance?
RECALL THEM ALL
